"Round holes in the frame for the round rear lights"

"You should find a frame id number on the front passanger outside of the frame"

Sharing knowledge is a good thing, but only if you have it....

The frame brace just aft of transfer case appears to be tilted backwards a bit. Indicating later frame. No need to be nasty.

If it is from a firetruck Japan probably a low miles well maintained engine. Did you get the oil fill tube? That would not have been your standard tube with the PCV fitting. Can see the two slits on the valve cover. The oil fill tube would have second long tub going down and open to the atmosphere. As air moved across it draws air from the crankcase. The two slits on the valve cover is where the air came from to replace that which was being drawn out the crankcase. The PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) would have a hose from the oil fill tube to the intake below the carburetor. A tube ran from the air cleaner to valve cover to provide filtered air. The PCV valve itself was to be sure air/fuel mixture didn't make it's way into the crankcase and cause a explosion which it the whole purpose of the System to prevent to begin with, blow-by in the cylinder some how igniting and blowing a hole in the block. Seen many posts of how a long compression engine was still running fine. Without a ventilation system a crankcase explosion would be real.
